ascii in names

I'm not sure this is a bug but I also don't knowwhere to post it.
phpnuke 6.5
I have made it so that people can put ascii and spaces in there names.
I don't plan on doing the short URL hack so I don't have any problems there. Here is my problem....

When the person gets emailed the link to finalize there registeration some ascii codes are changed making the link not work. However if they manual change it to match there name then it works and tada they are registered.

Is there away to fix this so they don't have to figure out tha they have to change the url they are emailed?

I have a similiar problem when people get emailed the link and they have spaces in there name but to me that is more obvious to people so it shouldn't be as big a deal.

Is there a way to make is to when people register they don't have to wait for an email?
I think if when they registered they were just bounced to the login page and allowed to register that would solve both issues.

I have downloaded and installed the "Resend Email" module someone made but that doesn't solve my problem.

Check this module/hack from my site Auto Register Activation Without Email

It automatically registers the user Smile

that worked except now I get this

Quote:

Warning: ereg() [function.ereg]: REG_BADRPT in /home/virtual/site40/fst/var/www/html/modules/Your_Account/index.php on line 30

I don't know if that is from the allowing spaces/adding ascii line 30 is this line

Quote:

if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_\[\]-]ü€‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹ŒìÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜ¢£¥??áíóúñÑªº¿©¬½¼¡«»°±²³²´µ¶·¸¹¾ÀÁÂÃÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàãäåçèéêëìíîïðòóõ÷°ùûü²þ???????????????????????????????????????????????§????????????????????????????Œœ???????????Šš????????????",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

the question marks are ascii putting them all in was a pain but it worked. is there way to have it not care what is in the name?
can I take out line 30?
Raven thank you for the wonderful work the no email thing is working I think this other error is something with the ascii please help if you know the answer.

I would say try commenting it out.

ascii and spaces in name with instant registering (no email authentication)

Here is how I did it. Keep in mind I jsut followed Ravens instructions. This is what I wanted to do but it was all his work.

in modules/Your_account/index.php comment out the line that start like this, it should be line #30

Quote:

if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg

then follow Ravens instructions for allowing people to register without an email verification. The reason I wanted to take out the email verification is because when you allow spaces in people names and/or ascii in the names it messes up the link in the email the receive. Also keep in mind if you do the short URL's hack this will conflict with that as well.
Ravens no email hack is on his site at this link
